About this property

Private MNT Escape close to DuPont, Pisgah Forest, Brevard, Hendersonville.

Birds Eye View is a private mountain home situated at the top of a ridge on 4 wooded acres with long-range views just minutes from Dupont Forest, Pisgah National Park, Brevard and Hendersonville. There are too many activities close-by to list; from amazing hiking, mountain biking, fishing, sliding rock, tubing, waterfalls, shopping, brew tours, wineries, Fall Festivals, Brevard Music Festival, Mountain jams at Cedar Mountain Canteen, Apple Picking at Jeter Mountain Farm or Sky Top Orchard, Live theatre at the Flat Rock Playhouse and more all minutes away. You may not want to leave the house though - Enjoy the cool summers, beautiful winters, incredible spring, or the fall leaf season right from the back deck!
The home is perfect for a multi-family vacation with three master bedrooms each on their own floor that all have mountain views, king-sized beds and ceiling fans. There is also a large kids' room with 2 twin beds, with a rollaway bed.
There are plenty of things to do without leaving the property. Enjoy one of the swings perfectly situated to enjoy the views, play cornhole in the back yard, explore the property for blueberries in the summer, play games around the kitchen table, play foosball in the kids' hangout, or a play a game of Mortal Kombat in the loft.
When you pull up the driveway, you will immediately be greeted by the inviting covered front porch with rocking chairs perfect for enjoying coffee or book on a rainy morning. When you walk in the door, you will be impressed by the 2 story views, open floor plan, and cozy living room with plenty of seating around the wood burning fireplace. The kitchen and dining area are right off the living room, so if you are traveling with a guest who is looking for something with minimal stairs, this setup is perfect as there are only 2 small stairs to enter the home and you can access the main living area, kitchen, laundry and master bedroom without climbing any stairs. Off the living/kitchen, you will find a deck with lounge seating and dining table for enjoying the amazing sunset views or a morning cup of coffee in the cool mountain air. The birdwatching from the kitchen is amazing and we will make sure that the feeders are filled before your visit (although there is no guarantee that the white squirrel does not eat it all). It is also common to see an occasional Black Bear, Deer, Turkey, Rabbits and even a few Bobcat sightings, so be sure to keep a lookout. You never know what you might see.
Just off the living room, the main floor Master Bedroom has a large 60" flat screen TV, an ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower and 4 separate shower heads including a large rain shower.
Downstairs you will find the full basement with a second living room with large sectional sofa (perfect for teen sleeping) a 65” Flat Screen TV with sound bar, wet bar with icemaker and access to the backyard firepit and swings. We have a cornhole set for your use as well. This level features a private master bedroom with King-sized Bed and luxury master bath with walk-in shower with rain shower head.
The top floor features a third master bedroom with amazing views and a 60” flat screen TV. This room shares a bathroom with the fourth bedroom located across from the loft. The upstairs bathroom has a double vanity and a tub/shower combo. The fourth bedroom has two twin beds and a fold-away bed or room for an airbed. This bedroom is a great kid hangout with a 35” flat screen TV, a foosball table and an "eagles’ nest" play nook tucked away behind a secret door and filled with toys, books and a reading area. The upstairs loft also has a Mortal Kombat video game and a desk overlooking the amazing mountain views.
The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook a family meal or Thanksgiving dinner and we offer a basic supply of spices, oils, coffee, paper towels to get your vacation started. You will have plenty of room to spread out and enjoy a perfect mountain vacation at Birds Eye View.

Whatever type of mountain vacation you are looking for, family, adventure, secluded, active, girls/guys, holiday or off-the-grid relaxing, Birds Eye View has what you are looking for and we look forward to hosting you!

Great for large group!

This stay was perfect for a girls weekend! It’s close to Hendersonville and Brevard, and about 30-40 minutes to Asheville. The property is beautiful, the views are great and the house was well stocked. Everyone had nothing but great things to say. We’d love to stay here again!

Wonderful stay between Brevard and Hendersonville

Our family with elementary aged children enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cabin! The hosts were wonderful - they gave us great local recommendations for activities and dining. They left the cabin stocked and clean for us. The cabin views are outstanding and there is plenty to do in the cabin. There are also so many wonderful places within a quick drive. We enjoyed every minute of it!

Perfect Getaway House!

Our family just returned from a week stay in this perfect Birds Eye view house. First I will say our hosts Dave and Marie were wonderful and probably the best experience we ever had. Not only did they provide a very detailed book of the house and recommendations for the area they allowed us to check in almost a full half day early. They immediately texted me once arrived asking if we needed anything and even offered to call me to go over in depth the questions I had about their recommendations. I got a text back immediately anytime I had a question, would book this place again just based on the hospitality alone. The house itself had breathtaking views of the mountains, a fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of space for all your sleeping needs. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms had very big showers. You literally don’t need to bring anything during your vacation, the house was full of every kitchen appliance, towels, games, trash bags, cleaning suppliers you name it! They even left us a s’mores kit with all the essentials needed for a family fire. The fire pit was perfect and at night you can look up and see many stars, with a telescope in the home. If you have kids I will say there is a secret oasis for them to enjoy inside not listed in the pictures. I don’t want to give it away but it is a perfect surprise for the kiddos. The location was close to everything you could possibly do in the area. Loved our stay and will stay here again the next time we visit NC!

Happy house!

This beautiful NC mountain home was delightful for our family Christmas gathering! We were grateful for the Christmas decor inside and out that our hosts provided! Three generations, three levels of good beds/bathrooms/privacy. The working kitchen was perfect for group meal prep … and a table to seat all at mealtime. The playroom was a favorite for our grandchildren. They left a message on the chalkboard saying “Goodbye best house in the world (besides home)”. We all had such a happy time in this happy house! Everything was as described. Check-in and out were easy and the hosts highly accommodating with prompt responses. Thank for for sharing Bird’s Eye View with us!

Perfect Mountain Retreat

Stayed over Thanksgiving and would highly recommend! Plenty of room and accommodations for everyone ages 8 months-72. Beautiful views, well stocked house (it was Thanksgiving and the house kept providing those seldom used items that we forgot), and generous host that has excellent communication. The house is also in a perfect location. It's on 3.5 acres so feels secluded but there are neighbors not too far, 15 minutes to grocery store and in DuPont so tons of great trails nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Marie Kelly

Host profile image
We are a family of 3 that lives full-time in Charleston, SC, but come to Penrose as much as we possibly can because we love it and are excited to share this special place for other families to enjoy. It would be a shame to keep it all to ourselves. We love to host our friends and family and have tried to make this home feel as comfortable as possible for everyone - it was important to us that every bedroom is a master with comfortable beds and high-quality linens and towels. Our family loves to be outdoors and we love to explore the local natural parks. There is a basket at the house with maps and guidebooks to all of the local parks that you are welcome to borrow. We love to cook and entertain so you'll find that the kitchen is well stocked. We have another VRBO in Mt. Pleasant and really enjoy making our guests feel welcomed. Our favorite is to read about all of the great places that they visit while in town.

Why they chose this property

We LOVE the Penrose location because of its convenience to so many great things to do and places to explore. You can be on a trail in Dupont in less than 10 minutes or in Pishgah in 15 to 20. There are several grocery stores wtihin 15-20 minutes. If you like Beer, you are close to many great Breweries and if you prefer wine, Hendersonville/Tron offer several that are just a bit farther away. We love exploring Henversonville and Brevard and appreciate that our home is right in the middle of both cities. Cedar Mountain is also just around the corner with a great spot for breakfast and a really cool outdoor store and canteen.

What makes this property unique

VIews, Views, Views! 3 Stories of views and every bedroom and living area are situated to enjoy the view. The property is totally secluded, so even though you are close to many conveniences/activities, you feel miles away from everything. The home has reclaimed wood floors on the main level giving it a true cabin feel and the outdoor space feels like a fairy garden. There are so many birds that come to the feeders, and you could spend hours enjoying watching them. There is so much wildlife!! You never know what you might see!
